Never try to guess what your lord is going to do, because you can't guess at all.

Last moment, Lu Bu arranged for Li Tiehan to create 200 imitation Tang Heng swords for the two hundred personal guards led by Xu Shitou, and the next moment, Lu Bu took Feng Xiong's painting halberd and galloped towards Pengcheng.

There were only cavalry accompanying him, and the few soldiers ran fast and as fast as flying. The group did not enter the city, but came to a harbor of Weishan Lake.

If the air starts to get cold today, it is the time when lake fish are the most fat.

The lotus leaves have already withered in this lotus pond of about three to five hundred acres, and the lake water of the lotus pond is already very shallow, just past the knee.

Song Xian mobilized more than a dozen fishing boats, first cut off the lotus leaves and threw them aside, and then began to expand into a fence.

This net is big enough, three or four hundred meters long, and it surrounds dozens of acres at a time.

More than 200 strong men on the shore were catching nets. At first, they didn’t feel anything, and no one was surprised.

As the large fishing net gradually narrowed, the net became heavier and everyone pulled it hard.

"Look, look, the big carp is turning flowers." Feng Xiong said, pointing at the waves in the water on the shore.

Huaji curled his lips and smiled, "I think it's clearly a grass carp."

As the net circle became smaller and smaller, countless big fish were churning with waves, and even Song Xian, the governor of Pengcheng County, could not keep his peace. My god, there were so many fish.

Lu Bu took off his armor, got on a boat, and picked up the net with the men and kept catching fish from the fish pond. Sometimes the fish jumped in by themselves.

It is generally a large carp and grass carp of six or seven kilograms, especially the carp, with golden scales and bright colors, which are very beautiful.

Fifty racks with large wooden barrels barely installed this net.

The old fisherman in charge of the fish pond was shocked: "It's so amazing, it grows too fast. With wheat bran and corn as added feed, the fish grows too fast. In summer, the fry purchased generally weighs more than two pounds, but now it has grown more than twice as big. The mesh is used, and there are about two, three and a half pounds of small fish inside.

There are more than a dozen such fish ponds affiliated with the official office of Pengcheng County. If not such fish ponds are raised, just talking about the Weishan Lake that is hundreds of miles away will be huge.

This is why Lu Bu was determined to occupy Pengcheng. From Pengcheng to Tengguo, the 200-mile bonus area is Weishan Lake. The hundreds of thousands of acres of reed wetlands beside the lake breed millions of wild ducks and water birds. The fish in the lake are very rich, mainly carp, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, and crucian carp.

There are also hundreds of fishing villages nearby. They were originally densely populated, but in the past two years, the population has been reduced by half. Now, as long as Weishan Lake is controlled, the Xuzhou army can achieve free fish and shrimps.

The backyard of the county magistrate's yamen was converted into a hotel. Lu Bu, Song Xian, Feng Xiong and Hua Ji were four. Each of them had a small table with two hard dishes on it, a plate of stewed big carp and a plate of fried river shrimp.

Song Xian was very happy. He was in charge of the country. Although he had no major achievements, he had achieved success, with a bumper harvest of fish and food.

"It seems that everything is inseparable from food. These fish ponds have added bran in a small amount. After corn meal, the growth rate of the fish will increase exponentially. Next year, more than a dozen fish ponds will be fed to feed. I think the yield of this fish will be even more powerful."

"Yes, if you want to continue to develop, you must always take the path of breeding. The official fish farm should not be too many. It is enough for the military to eat. There is no need to develop in large quantities and compete for profit for the people. Encourage the people to raise fish and shrimps. Raising goose and ducks is the path of healthy development. The county magistrate Song did a good job this year, and hopes to go to a higher level next year and cultivate Weishan Lake into our big fish warehouse in Xuzhou."

Song Xian found many capable people on the shore of Weishan Lake, including old fishermen who know how to raise carp and grass carp seedlings, old farmers who know how to breed goose and ducks, and fishermen who have good water properties.

Weishan Lake is long in the north and south, narrow in the east and west, with few deep water areas and many shallow water areas. It is most suitable for free geese and ducks.

Geese and ducks are waterfowls, which eat more grass and less food, and are much more resistant to diseases than chickens. They are most suitable for large-scale stocking. Pengcheng County has developed six duck farms and six large white goose farms by the lake. Lu Bu allocated bran from Xuzhou and solved corn and sorghum on his own locally.

In addition to supplying meat and eggs, another main purpose of breeding goose ducks is to provide feathers.

The feathers of goose and ducks are important materials for making feather arrows. Tens of thousands of feather arrows are consumed in a battle.

All the princes of various families were worried about making feather arrows, otherwise Zhou Yu would not have forced Zhuge Liang to borrow arrows from a straw boat.

Lu Bu was still affirming Song Xian's political achievements and had developed quite well. The fish, shrimp, geese and ducks in Weishan Lake will become an important source of economic resources for Xuzhou.

The four of them had a few drinks. Now Lu Bu no longer drinks heavily, so naturally the other generals would not get drunk.

After drinking and eating, the servants took the fish bones down.

Song Xian opened the huge map of Weishan Lake. This lake is very large, about 200 miles from north to south and more than 50 miles from east to west. There are countless ports, and it may be difficult to effectively control without a naval army. However, the water in Weishan Lake is very shallow, and large ships can only walk on fixed waterways and cannot drive around.

"We want to build a Weishan Lake naval army, with Song Xian brothers as the main generals, build 30 centipede ships in the spring, recruit 900 fishermen, and start training. The main task is to patrol Weishan Lake, protect aquatic products, and transport some materials back and forth."

Like Lu Bu, Song Xian was born in the north and learned to swim after coming to Xuzhou.

The ship type has also been made. The simple centipede ship is fifteen meters long, five meters wide, flat-bottomed clutch, equipped with thirty boats. It can also use sails, equipped with cargo compartments and cabins, with shallow drafts, and can sail normally with five feet deep water.

A sailing ship was built in Xuzhou, which was very light and equipped with thirty to fifty sailors, and the cargo capacity could reach 100,000 kilograms. A ship could support the transportation volume of dozens of carriages.

Song Xian scratched his head: "Lord, I'm a landslide, and the navy may not be able to play with it."

"It's not necessary for you to lead the team. There are so many fishermen in Weishan Lake, but there are still no one who is capable. Water battles are blank. Study them slowly and be responsible for patrols and back-and-forth material transportation first."

At that time, two ship types were designed, one was a centipede ship and the other was a pedaled car.

The centipede boat rows, with many people and great strength, and sails rapidly on the lake.

The vehicles and ships are equipped with pedal water wheels. Although the speed is very fast, the water wheels at the bottom of the ship occupy space and transport less cargo. They were denied by Lu Bu and only built a few small vehicles and ships for patrol. The others are mainly centipede ships.

The navy only selected nine hundred soldiers to recruit, but the number was not large, and the recruitment was not difficult. After three days of publicity, it was completely selected.

Whether it is a navy or an infantryman, the training during the recruits is the same, that is discipline, formation, physical fitness, bows and arrows, swords and guns.
